(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Investigators surveyed vegetation and grassland bird communities on and off black-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys ludovicianus) towns to investigate community drivers, interactions, and species associations. This study was ...
Soil Salinity and Sodicity Impacts on Soil Shrinkage, Water Movement and Retention
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Saline, sodic, and saline-sodic ground waters are problematic throughout the Northern Great Plains and Red River Valley. High sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) and low electrical conductivity (EC) of soil solution and irrigation ...
Energetic Space: The Affect of Literature in a Composition Classroom
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
